Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 353 Weapon Ji Baixie

"I am Bai Xie, a female attendant of the military commander. I have come to visit you on the orders of the military commander, hoping to discuss cooperation with Mr. Zhou."

The visitor spoke very formally.

Bai Xie is a petite and pretty girl wearing a loose hooded cloak.

She lifted her hood, revealing her soft hair and two rabbit ears, and carried a small, rusty metal coffin on her back.

When he saw the coffin, Zhou Yi's pupils shrank slightly.

He immediately returned to normal and said politely, "Hello, Miss Bai Xue. Welcome to the Emerald City. What would you like to drink? Tea?"

"The guest does as the host does."

Bai Xie, however, stared at a can of engine oil from the Age of Gods period on the shelf.

Although Zhou Yi was puzzled, he still handed her the can of engine oil.

The girl with rabbit ears immediately opened the pull ring, took a big sip of oil, and showed a comfortable expression.

"Thank you, this one tastes better!"

"Miss Bai Xue has come a long way, but this thing on your back...can be put down so that you can sit down more conveniently."

Zhou Yi said.

"Too."

As the other party said this, he took off the coffin with the iron chain and put it aside.

Bai Xi then sat down on the chair and said, "Mr. Zhou, this time, the Lord of Arms hopes to purchase a batch of floating hearts from you."

"No problem at all."

Zhou Yi nodded: "How much do you need? Our current production capacity has not yet been increased, and all parties are placing orders, so the quantity is not too large."

"The more of this, the better."

Bai Xie said: "We plan to buy 1000 to try first."

Zhou Yi asked Hong Xun who was standing beside him: "How much inventory does the company currently have available?"

"81, of which 2 are defective, 30 are undergoing repeated testing, 20 have been reserved, and the rest are for the company to use as a backup."

“Only 29 available,” the drone said.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you half of them and give you 14. When the production capacity increases, things will be much better."

Bai Xi showed a somewhat embarrassed look: "This is too much. I will only take 14 back. I really can't complete the task..."

"I have to bring back at least 100 to make up 1/10."

Zhou Yi had no choice but to say, "Then you wait here for a week and see if we can spare some money."

And so she stayed.

In order to make care more convenient, Zhou Yi asked Qiansu to be responsible for the reception.

The next day, Qiansu came to report the information she had obtained.

"Chairman, Bai Xi is very sensitive about weapons. She and I have been discussing weapons. She knows all the equipment in my inventory like the back of her hand. She can tell their specific functions and effects after just a few tries."

"But she herself is not human, she just looks like a human."

"But she is neither an electromechanical life form nor a light-generating creature, because she does not breathe. She can eat if she wants. But it is not a necessary behavior."

Zhou Yi also discovered this.

He used [Alertness] to observe Bai Xie and found that she did not glow, just like an ordinary person.

The rusty coffin on her back emitted a dangerous colorful glow—it turned out to be a light core.

But it is impossible to confirm what is inside.

"Bai Xue said that weapon princesses are the forms of various weapons after they are given life."

"Her essence is a weapon, and her true form will only be released during combat."

Zhou Yi remembered that the three main forces that fought against the celestial beings in the past were the Black Emperor's Dawn Guard, the Old King's Star Matrix, and the Lord of Arms' Weapon Princess.

Weapon Princess is really a humanoid weapon.

No wonder she drinks motor oil.

"As for the coffin on her back, it contained something from the Lord of Arms. But the Lord of Arms did not allow it to be opened, nor did he say what it was, so she didn't know either."

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Is that all she said?"

"I told you everything."

Qian Su also looked a little puzzled: "It went so smoothly that I wondered if she was using me. But later I talked to her and found out that she is just like that, not the type to keep secrets. She also said that the Lord of Arms must have thought of these things when he asked her to come here."

"So it should be the military leader who showed goodwill to us and told us some intelligence in disguise."

Zhou Yi nodded.

should be.

On the third day, Bai Xi suddenly ran to the Emerald City carrying the coffin on his back.

"Mr. Zhou, I forgot to say something important!"

"please say."

"The aliens at your disposal are damaged, and some are completely unusable. We have tried many methods, but none of them can be repaired. Can you go to the Golden Elephant Valley and fix them? We will not let you down at a bad price."

Weapon hunter Fang Qiao also talked about this.

Zhou Yi had to decline again on the grounds of being busy.

We have to go to the forbidden continent, but not now.

However, there is still the threat of the mechanical and electrical city cluster, so he must stay in Shagang.

"I see... Actually, I know that you just fought a battle with the United Guards. The current situation is still very tense, so you definitely can't get away."

Bai Xi said seriously: "But if you are free, please come over. Our Weapon Princess will definitely protect your safety." "I will visit you after the situation here stabilizes."

Zhou Yi also responded solemnly.

The other party immediately smiled.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Xie looks like a lively girl, except that her two rabbit ears are a little too long.

Zhou Yi pointed at the rabbit ears: "Is this your ear, or equipment?"

"This is an antenna. This is an antenna."

Bai Xi pinched her long ears with her hands: "The outer ones are protective covers, so it doesn't look so weird."

It turned out to be two antennas.

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

The other party also noticed his right arm: "Huh? Your hand is broken? Is this a universal prosthesis? Can I see it?"

"of course can."

The rabbit-eared weapon girl held Zhou Yi's right prosthesis, turned it and disassembled it skillfully, cleaned the dust inside with a small brush, and applied a milky white grease.

"This is our homemade silicone grease. Weapon Princess also uses it herself."

She explained: "Silicone grease can improve heat dissipation, prevent corrosion, shock and dust. The core component of the prosthesis is optical printing, which has a high usage rate. Using silicone grease to protect specific areas can improve stability and reduce latency. You can try it."

Zhou Yi tried it.

It really is.

The previous dullness has obviously become much weaker, and it seems that the entire prosthetic arm has become much more sensitive.

“You are indeed an expert.”

Zhou Yi sighed: "Are all weapon masters such as this?"

"Of course, we ourselves are weapons, and we also need to maintain, repair, and even partially upgrade ourselves."

Bai Xi puffed out his chest slightly and said proudly, "My expertise happens to be in maintenance and storage, so I can see some minor problems with your prosthesis. But overall it's still very new and can be used for at least 3-5 years. If maintained properly, it can be used for 10 to 15 years."

"Mr. Zhou, although the workmanship of your prosthetic limb is good, its function is too simple and it is totally unworthy of your status. If you come to visit Golden Elephant Valley, the Lord of Arms will definitely be able to make you a brand new prosthetic limb, at least A-grade. Although it is not as good as the original flesh, it will definitely be much stronger than this."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "That's for sure."

"I see that the end of your arm was cut off by the light core body."

Bai Xie continued, "The light core body has a special power element that can lock the body like a chain. If you remove this element, your body will be able to grow."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Do you have a solution?"

"I can not."

The bunny-eared girl shook her head: "But Master Bingzhu can do it. If you help us repair the alien, Master Bingzhu will definitely help you find a way to heal your hand."

Zhou Yi thought.

It seems that I really need to go to Golden Elephant Valley as soon as possible.

I can't break through to the light core body in a short period of time, and the fastest way to recover my arm is to receive treatment from the Lord of Soldiers.

Although Bingzhu is very enthusiastic about collecting weapons, their reputation in the outside world has always been known for being low-key and not causing trouble, making them more reliable than Xingshu and Tianguo.

"One more thing, it's my personal request."

Bai Xi said: "I want to use myself as a sample to test the compatibility between the floating heart and the weapon princess. Can you ask the technicians to install it for me?"

"Of course there's no problem with that."

In fact.

Zhou Yi was also very interested in the structure of the weapon Ji.

The two chief engineers of the Floating Heart, Liu Fusheng and Chen Ruixiang, came all the way to Emerald City with their equipment, and Qian Su came to act as assistants.

Bai Xi twisted his head from his neck twice and took it off, then grabbed a silver metal plate from his neck and said, "This is my light-printed spine, just install it here."

So the two old engineers started to get busy.

During the whole process, Bai Xi also actively discussed with them.

"This columnar structure is very suitable for us. It can be fixed directly on the spine. It can be charged with oil... Two external fuel tanks can be made to increase the endurance."

"That won't work. The optical printing interface there is needed to connect to weapon peripherals. Testing weapons is one of our jobs, so we must leave enough interfaces."

"Can I install two hearts at the same time? I see there are two gears, right? Please turn on the high-intensity gear. I think it will be more effective this way, and I can handle it. According to the mechanical and electrical city standards, I am at least Class A in strength, so please don't worry, just increase the strength."

……

While they were discussing the installation, Zhou Yi was also watching.

Bai Xie only showed a section of the metal spine, and he couldn't see what was inside. As an outsider, he could only watch the fun.

The process was not smooth, and various problems kept occurring, leading to the failure of installation and debugging.

Everyone continued to try patiently.

A voice suddenly appeared in Zhou Yi's mind.

"Chairman, I came into contact with the thing in the coffin."

It’s the microphone master.

Zhou Yi asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"The thing inside is a conceptual life, but it is stuck in a very strange state and is constantly changing. This change is a kind of movement that cannot be stopped."

"It is a very special conceptual life form, calling itself Miss Luck. On one side, it has good luck, and on the other side, it has bad luck. These two states are constantly switching between each other, so they will affect the probability and form of surrounding events..."

Zhou Yi frowned.

The conceptual life [Miss Luck] was locked in an iron coffin by the Lord of Arms.
